Movie Reviews of Brainscan
Movie Review: Brainscan
Summary: 3 Stars
After Terminator 2 - Judgment Day was released, alot of people thought computer monsters would be movies of the future. Alot of them went straight to video and are barely remembered, some went to theaters but never did much. I remember seeing this movie preview when I was younger and it freaked me out, and I finally bought it on dvd. I previewed the trailer again after buying it and thought "ut oh, i bought a crapfest." They do have T2 star Edward Furlong, which I guess at thus time was still considered a star. I thought the downfall of the movie was the Trickster, who was enjoyable but didnt really flesh out to be a villian and the cop he run into alot, should have had a slightly bigger part. Furlong is perfect in his role as a bored teen who loves metal, video games, and horror films. The downfall is the rest of the cast falls flat. A few good scenes are scattered about but nothing exciting. The ending started off as crap but the real ending was enjoyable but I guess. This film is watchable a few times but I wouldnt rank it as a top film.
Summary of Brainscan
When a lonely teenager (Edward Furlong) orders the latest interactive video game the high-tech wizardry penetrates his subconscious where his darkest impulses lead him through a deadly maze of murder deception and desire. Pursued by a homicide detective (Frank Langella) and prodded by the trickster (T. Ryder Smith) he is torn between the worlds of good and evil of reality and fantasy and ultimately of life and death.System Requirements:Running Time: 94 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR Rating: R UPC: 043396100428 Manufacturer No: 10042A virtual reality game that allows players to commit murders is the crux for the high-tech thriller Brainscan. Edward Furlong (Terminator 2) stars as a monster movie/video game fanatic who receives a CD-ROM that challenges players to carry out brutal killings. When Furlong discovers that the murder has also occurred in real life, he attempts to rid himself of the game, but its hideous "referee," Trickster (T. Ryder Smith), refuses to let him quit until he has eliminated all witnesses--including the girl he loves (Amy Hargreaves). A flavorless retread of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, Brainscanis undone by its principals' lack of interest in producing a suspenseful film. Director John Flynn offers little variation on its stalk-and-slash scenes, and Furlong gives a half-hearted performance, though some of that blame must lie with Andrew Kevin Walker's leaden script. Brainscanwill offer passing interest to only the most non-discerning Elm Street aficionado. --Paul Gaita
